Using this board, children can experience magnetism. There are several differently shaped magnets so that children can feel attraction and repulsion. They can see the effect of magnets in suspension held by ‘like poles repelling each other’ - even against the force of gravity when the wheel is rotated. A clear window tube has iron filings that can be made to stand up to reveal magnetic lines of flux and a variety of magnetic and non-magnetic materials can be tested with a magnet. (ME09616)
